White smoke was constantly spewing from the castle's shooting holes, and behind the battlements at the head of the castle, crossbows shot arrows. Bullets and arrows rained down like a torrential rain, and the waters of the Pasig River boiled, splashing and small columns of water. The aboriginal cannon fodder pushing the shield cart to fill the moat wanted to throw sandbags into the moat, so they had to leave the shield cart protection and carry the sandbags to the moat, and at this moment, they were killed and injured by heavy fire from the city.

The indigenous cannon fodder was constantly shot and hit by arrows, and spurted out a series of piercing bloody swords from his body, screaming miserably, and even people fell into the river with sandbags. Some of them managed to drop their sandbags, but turned around and tried to flee back behind the shield cart, but they were shot by bullets and arrows, and fell on the edge of the moat, next to the shield cart.

Wang Yu pulled out his sword and pointed forward: "The riflemen press up and suppress the fire of the Spaniards!" Machine guns are also on top! ”

More than 2,000 Marines marched along the ditch to the trench 150 paces from the city, armed with metal cartridge casings. The riflemen lay down in the trenches, picked up their rifles, stretched out their muzzles, and aimed them at the head of the city.

"Bang bang bang" bullets rained down on the castle, and many bullets got into the holes. This rate of fire can reach fifteen rounds a minute breech-loading rifle, the rate of fire completely suppressed the Spanish flintlock pistol, and in terms of accuracy, it was also a completely superior Spanish flintlock rifle.

The dense firepower made the blood and flesh of the Spaniard's castle fly, and the bullets that penetrated the shooting holes made a screaming sound in the castle, and the sparks in the castle burst out, and from time to time someone was shot and fell.

The tragedy of the Spaniards was not over, and four hand-cranked machine guns were also pushed out by the Ming army, and advanced along the communication ditch to the front of the trench, where the machine gunners stopped behind the pre-stacked sandbags, turned the machine guns, raised the muzzles, and aimed them at the castle shooting hole above, and the loader inserted the cartridge into the machine gun.

"Fire!" Emperor Hu Dedi roared.

The machine gunner shook the machine gun, and the eleven-barreled machine gun turned, and the barrel spewed dazzling fire in turn, and the crisp sound of the machine gun shocked the Spaniards, and the bullets shot like a downpour, shooting at the castle.

Although it is a hand-cranked machine gun, but the firepower and power are not comparable to the rifle, the dense bullets are aimed at the shooting hole to suppress, the bullets hit the stone castle, sparks everywhere, there are always a lot of bullets can drill into the shooting hole, the Spaniards who are sticking out of the shooting hole to shoot with muskets are shot one after another, screaming and falling.

It can be said that the Spaniards of this era were indeed very heroic, they suffered heavy losses, but they still stubbornly stretched out their muskets from the shooting holes, fired outside, and knocked many indigenous cannon fodder into the moat.

Seeing the comrades around them constantly falling, many black soldiers and indigenous soldiers dropped their muskets and crossbows, shouted and turned around to escape from the shooting holes and battlements, but the Spanish axe soldiers who pressed the formation behind them waved their big axes mercilessly, cut off their heads, or cut them in half.

Although the Spaniards were very heroic, their firepower was completely suppressed due to their double inferiority in weapons and numbers, and after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the firepower in the castle became very sparse.

"Quick, work harder, fill in the moat!" Seeing that the castle's shooting hole was no longer firing tongues of fire, the king of Banshiran shouted excitedly. After this battle is over, he will be able to become the real vassal king canonized by the Ming Dynasty. Tuwang had a son, and this son received Han education, and Wang Yu personally renamed Tuwang's son Duterte.

The losses of the indigenous cannon fodder were significantly reduced, and seeing this posture, the native soldiers carried the cannon fodder and accelerated their speed. As truckloads of sandbags were thrown into the moat, the river became shallower and narrower.

By the time it was dark, the moat had been filled in with three unconnected passages, five feet wide, less than three feet from the opposite bank.

"Construction overnight!" Wang Yu summoned the king of Banshilan, "Before dawn, we must storm the castle!" ”

"Yes!" The earth king retreated.

Piles of bonfires were lit along the moat, and the indigenous cannon fodder was under the supervision of the native soldiers and the people, pushing the shield cart to work overnight. Because the firepower of the Spaniards had been completely suppressed, the Han people simply removed all the wooden planks in front of the shield cart to reduce the weight of the shield cart and speed up the construction.

The firing hole in the castle occasionally fired one or two bullets, but as soon as the firing hole was lit up, it was immediately suppressed by the heavy fire of the Ming army, and machine guns and rifles fired dense bullets into the firing hole that lit up.

It was not yet light, and the moat had been filled in.

"Attack!" Wang Yu gave the order.

"Kill!" The indigenous cannon fodder rushed towards the castle with a shout, carrying improvised ladders.

Originally, Wang Yu planned to build a fish beam to directly connect to the city, but as the war progressed, he gave up the time-consuming battle plan and directly adopted the tactics of climbing the city to fight. The Spaniards were almost completely outnumbered, and only axe men and halberders were stationed at the head of the city, as well as some natives and civilians who had come to the city to assist in the defense. However, the rolling wood, oil and gunpowder canisters at the head of the city could still cause great losses to the attacking army, so Wang Yu let the cannon fodder team go first.

Seeing that the cannon fodder with torches was about to arrive in the city, Wang Yu gave an order: "Light the lamp!" ”

The officers and men of the Marine Corps Searchlight Team pressed down on the handle, injected gas into the gas lamp searchlight, and then lit the fire, lighting one vapor lamp after another.

The gas lamps emitted a dazzling light, and the strong light reflected onto the condenser behind it, forming a series of snowy lampposts that shone towards the Spanish castle. The dazzling glare pierced the eyes of the Spaniards and the indigenous soldiers, making them dizzy and unable to open their eyes at all.

At the same time, a volley of flowering shells smashed into the city, knocking the Spaniards in a pool of blood who had not had time to react to the sudden bright light.

"Fight back!" The Spanish officer shouted.

Rolling wood and stones, oil tanks, and gunpowder cans smashed into the city, and a series of explosions sounded at the foot of the city wall, and the raging fire lit up the entire castle.

The artillery shells of the Ming army smashed on the city again, and a series of explosions sounded again at the head of the city, and many Spaniards were flying flesh and blood. Naturally, the distance between the two sides was so close, and many of the shells of the Ming army fell in the crowd of the indigenous cannon fodder team, blowing up a lot of cannon fodder.

Some of the indigenous cannon fodder turned around and fled, and were immediately hacked to death by the native soldiers behind.

"Kill!" Hordes of native soldiers drew their machetes, stepped over the corpses of the native cannon fodder, and climbed the ladder.
